Mice with a handful of cancerous cells in their lungs experienced a 100-fold increase to this number after being infected ...

The new mice study builds on previous studies that found COVID-19 doubled patients' risk of dying from cancer.

Sometimes, cancer cells that have spread become ‘dormant’ but can start proliferating again later. A cue that can reactivate ...

Hidden in the lungs of some breast cancer survivors are tumour cells that can remain dormant for decades — until they one day ...

Influenza viruses can use two ways to infect cells Date: July 18, 2024 Source: University of Zurich Summary: Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the ...

Millions of people who recover from infections like COVID-19, influenza and glandular fever are affected by long-lasting ...

In cells grown in culture, the virus was able to infect cells in both the usual way, and through MHC class II complexes. The structural compatibility between the virus and cell surface structures can ...

For example, many respiratory viruses such as influenza viruses, SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) all rely on the unique architecture of respiratory cells to replicate.

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in ...

“Human influenza A viruses of subtype H2N2 and related H2N2 avian influenza viruses can enter cells through a second receptor. They use an alternative entry pathway,” says Stertz.
